Good Traditinal Chinese Medicine To Improve Kidney Function - Cistanche

60%-70% of patients admitted to the nephrology department are patients with significantly elevated creatinine.

What is a significant increase? Not 100, not 130, normal people may also find this level of creatinine value. Significantly increased creatinine means that the creatinine is above 170, which is determined to be moderate/severe renal failure (creatinine is an indicator that is difficult to reflect mild renal failure), which can bring uremia and bring a heavy burden to patients and their families.

The Main Task Of Nephrology is To Improve Renal Function

How to improve? A few days ago, a new company (Wecistanche Bio tech) mentioned that there are only 3 types of drugs that are effective for renal failure: traditional Chinese medicine, Puli/Sartan drugs, and Liejing drugs.

Today, we will introduce a traditional Chinese medicine - CISTANCHE

In patients with renal failure, the effect of CISTANCHE is mainly reflected in promoting blood circulation. Blood circulation in pregnant women can cause miscarriage, so pregnant women generally do not use it.

Why do patients with renal failure ask to "activate blood"?

We usually look at the kidney. It is like two fist-sized organs, but what we actually see is the capsule. Remove the capsule, and you will find that the real face of the kidney is a mass of blood vessels.

This is very similar to the heart. The heart is essentially a blood vessel, except that this blood vessel expands into the atrium and ventricle, and then folds into a heart shape. The kidney is also a blood vessel, but this blood vessel bifurcates into capillaries and entangles into 2 million glomeruli, forming the shape of a kidney. The heart and kidneys are essentially blood vessels.

What is kidney function?

The function of the kidneys and heart is essentially to allow blood to flow through this vessel. If it can flow, there is kidney/heart function; if it cannot flow, it is renal failure/heart failure (decreased glomerular filtration rate/decreased cardiac ejection fraction).

Therefore, to improve kidney function is to Promote blood circulation 

Promoting blood circulation sounds simple, but it's easier said than done in practice. The blood vessels are narrowed and it is difficult to recover. Western medicine has been researched for more than half a century, but the out works is very limited, so the method is adopted to reduce the pressure of blood vessels (Like take puli/sartan drugs, lecithin drugs) so that the hardening and necrosis of blood vessels will be slower, the speed of the blood flow will be a little slower, thereby delaying the decline of renal function, and that is the only way.

However, promoting blood circulation is the strength of traditional Chinese medicine.

For example cistanche:

"Chinese Pharmacopoeia" introduces Cistanche: pungent in nature, warm in taste. Returning to the heart and liver meridians, functions and indications: promoting blood circulation, increasing proliferation of kidney cells, dispersing blood stasis, and relieving pain. 

Note: Pregnant women should use it with caution.

Promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, in the middle of the difficulty of renal failure.

Having said that, there may be some kidney patients who have begun to think of "buy some cistanche to soak in water as tea". Is this the right way to do it? There is no mistake, it is wasteful and the effect is limited.

I have to pour cold water here: cistanche does have the effect of invigorating kidneys, but it is not a magic medicine, and it cannot restore blood supply once you eat it. Does it increase blood flow by a factor of 10? In most cases, it cannot be achieved.

It's only possible unless you use raw material, but a raw material will take little effects because of its cell wall. If drinking water with raw cistanche can restore blood flow, there will be no kidney failure patients in the world.

Doctors of Western medicine all understand a truth: to , it is better to increase the types of drugs. Small doses and multiple ingredients than increase the dose of drugs, which can achieve better effects than single-dose large doses, and have fewer side effects. What are pharmaceutical companies doing all day long? It's about inventing another drug, not frantically testing the edge of the upper dose limit.

Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine also understand the truth: extracting a single drug component is not as good as combining it with other traditional Chinese medicines. Traditional Chinese medicine is a system, the efficacy of this system is to match a  personal conscious rather than treat everyone equally, and the side effects can be balanced. A responsible TCM doctor will always prescribe a prescription for a patient based on disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation, instead of taking a box of proprietary Chinese medicine and saying: buy it!

The usage of cistanche here is a case:

Ms. Liu from Sichuan suffers from ANCA nephritis. Her local hormone therapy was ineffective. Her serum creatinine doubled every week. She developed uremia in one month, so she started hemodialysis. However, hemodialysis could not improve the complications, and the creatinine reached 558 after dialysis, which was helpless for a while.

After being transferred to our physician, the diagnosis was made: the waist and knees are weak, the complexion is dark black, and the lips and the tongue are dark purples. Diagnosis of the pulse: The pulse is deep and thin. Syndrome Synopsis: Kidney deficiency is not solid, prolonged illness becomes blood stasis, and blood stasis obstructs kidney collaterals.

Governing Law: Yishen activating blood, removing blood stasis, and removing toxins.

For Ms. Liu's condition, safflower (10g) is suitable for dredging the blood flow of her stagnated kidneys.

At the same time, it is combined with other traditional Chinese medicines:

Cistanche extracts 30g, Ginseng extract 10g, Astragalus Extract 10g, Shichangpu 10g, Qianghuo 12g, Jiangxiang 16g, Duhuo 10g, Bupleurum 15g, and mycophenolate mofetil. Traditional Chinese medicine three times a day, 1 payment each time.

Oral application, external application, and foot bath are three-pronged approaches (some patients are not ideal with traditional Chinese medicine because they are only taken orally).

After 12 days of treatment, serum creatinine dropped to 289, dialysis was stopped, and the dialysis tube was removed. After 2 months, serum creatinine was 189:

The patient was delighted to see the review results. Our joy comes not only from the review results but also from a plaque presented by the patient:

There is a cistanche contribution here. The 9 Chinese medicines that are compatible with it, as well as the 5 Chinese medicines of another prescription, and mycophenolate mofetil, all contributed to it. Luckily for Ms. Liu, her own lesion type provided the possibility of reversal.
